This culminated in a very cheeky moment when Charlotte
stuck her tongue out at grandpa Michael Middleton
while the family was heading to the prize-giving stage, where Bear Grylls was
presented with the trophy and Kate was given a giant wooden spoon for coming in
last! Contrast that with George, who looked at the crowd, turned around and went down the flight of stairs to the stage.

Of course, George is no stranger to being a goofball
himself, but overall, he’s much
quieter than his sister, an insider recently told
People.

“George is more reserved, and Charlotte is more outgoing,” the
source said. “Maybe it’s because he’s the heir and one day he might be King.”

Royal watchers have had plenty of opportunities to see the
siblings’ dynamic in action. While visiting Kate’s Back to Nature garden at the
Chelsea Flower Show in May, video footage showed William asking Charlotte, “Can
you help George?”

“No,” the gregarious and spirited princess replied, skipping away.

Later, she was seen running by yelling at her brother, “George!
Quicker, George!”

The Queen herself has even remarked on their difference in
personalities once. Last year, the mother of a girl visiting Sandringham told
Her Majesty the girl’s younger sister looks after her.

“It’s the same difference between William and Harry,” the
insider told
People. “Harry is much more laid-back and William is the most
serious one because he will be King one day.”

Their relationship might change a bit when Charlotte starts school at Thomas’s Battersea in September. Charlotte may find her own friends, or she may bond even more tightly with her brother. She’s reportedly “so excited” and “can’t
wait” to be with her big brother at “big school,” the insider told the
publication.

“George and Charlotte seem very happy playing together,” a
source told
Express
last week. “In their public appearances, they seem the happiest of siblings.
When Charlotte joins George at school in September, they are likely to be even
closer.”

On George’s first day at Thomas’s Battersea nearly two years ago, royal
watchers were thrilled to see him arrive at the school in his uniform, holding his
dad’s hand. The palace also released official portraits of
George on his big day, as the family did when Charlotte started nursery school,
so we’ll also likely have that to look forward to when Charlotte starts her
academic life!
